Lens for 720p Camera

[ricksi 0]

I purchased a Panasonic WV-SP305 camera and have been using a WV-LZA61/2 3.8~8mm lens. I also have and tried a Computar 3.5mm lens and saw no appreciable difference. The recommended lens for this camera is the WV-LZA62/2. It is designated as a "High Resolution" lens. My questions is would I see an appreciable difference if I bought a so called "High Resolution" lens for this camera?

There are many choice in the marrket, such as Fujinon, Spacecome, Tammron.. You can pick up 1.3. 2.0 Mega pixel lens which are catering for your requirement.

Is there really a difference between older type lenses, such as the two I mentioned I've tried, versus megapixel lenses? Will I see an obvious difference if I buy one? The camera technology that increases pixel count makes sense to me, but I'm not clear on what makes a lens a megapixel type.

Higher quality optics.

Made to better standard.

Otherwise you may very well have soft or blurry picture with a cheap lens.

I decided to purchase a Fujinon PLAMP2808 Mega Pixel lens to replace my older Computar TG2Z3514FCS-2 lens. The Fujinon cost me almost 3x as much and I see no difference in picture quality between the two.

I really can not find out the model you listed. Here is Fujinon USA portal, you can check does the one you own is CLONE from CHINA.
